Specialist systems depth where the product needs it. Commercial risk
tied to proof.
Augment your team with one cross-stack U.S. delivery boundary that
connects systems architecture and algorithms; MATLAB/Simulink and
Python/NumPy reference models; FPGA and DSP/SDR implementation;
firmware, emulation and validation. Your team retains product
authority while gaining a measurable outcome, reusable evidence and
operating knowledge.
SYSTEMS DESIGN FIRST
Start with the system, not a favorite platform.
Turn the idea into measurable behavior, profile representative
workloads and candidate platforms, then partition by evidence.
FPGA, custom ASIC, embedded compute or cloud is a design decision,
not a predetermined answer.
FPGA / RTL SYSTEMS
From algorithm and architecture through timing-closed target
behavior.
Verticals
Space payloads · medical imaging · robotics and drones ·
SDR/radar · datacenter/storage · test and measurement
ConOps · requirements and traceability · SysML/UML where
useful · platform trade studies · FPGA/custom ASIC/CPU/GPU/
DSP/NPU/firmware/cloud partitioning · interface and state
contracts · failure and recovery analysis
Outcome
A versioned reference behavior, defensible platform
allocation, implementation-ready contracts and an acceptance
matrix carried through target correlation.
DSP / SDR
Golden waveform behavior into heterogeneous real-time
execution.
Platforms & frameworks
ADALM-Pluto · Nuand bladeRF · GNU Radio · UHD/RFNoC ·
MATLAB/Simulink · Python/NumPy/SciPy · RFSoC/Versal ·
PCIe/cloud FPGA
Solutions & verticals
Base-station algorithm migration · cloud FPGA base stations
· navigation and spoof detection · radar and LiDAR datapaths
· drone payloads · spectrum monitoring · rugged and
defense-oriented mission platforms
Open architecture
Modular data/control interfaces and replaceable deployment
profiles can support customer-selected MOSA, SOSA™, FACE®
and OpenVPX/VITA integration objectives; formal conformance
is separately scoped.
AI boundary
RF classification, spectrum awareness, anomaly detection and
configuration search progress from shadow to advice to
bounded control around a deterministic DSP core.
EMBEDDED FIRMWARE
Interface contracts, deterministic behavior and recoverable
releases.
Platforms
Arm Cortex · RISC-V · Zephyr · FreeRTOS · bare metal ·
embedded Linux · Yocto · BSP/HAL · device drivers ·
bootloaders
Boot and state models, register contract, BSP/HAL/drivers,
RTOS/Linux integration, test harnesses, reproducible image
recipe, compatibility matrix and diagnostics.
Acceptance evidence
Repeatable boot, hardware-facing tests, fault/recovery behavior,
emulator-to-board correlation, workload stability, image
provenance and a controlled transition into post-silicon
execution.
03 · EMULATION / PROTOTYPING
A platform is productive only when teams can use it.
Model releases, transactors, virtual/hybrid/ICE environments,
firmware, workloads, regressions and operations treated as a
shared engineering product.
Failures stranded between RTL, firmware and system
Delivery system
Assertions, formal, unit and differential tests
UVM/portable scenarios and fault injection
Cross-layer triage, waiver governance and reuse
Artifacts
Verification plan and matrix, assertion/test libraries,
reference scoreboards, platform adapters, coverage model,
regression taxonomy, failure dispositions and waivers.
Acceptance evidence
Requirement coverage, model/RTL/hardware correlation, corner and
fault behavior, reproducible regression results, known-risk
disposition and product-level scenario acceptance.
SYSTEMS DESIGN / ALGORITHMS / PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
Idea to product. Partition after profiling.
Executable reference behavior and target-platform data drive the
FPGA, custom ASIC, CPU, DSP, GPU, NPU, firmware, host and cloud
boundary. Implementation begins only after the interfaces,
budgets, failure behavior and acceptance evidence are explicit.
Executable model, dataset/workload corpus, precision and latency
budgets, platform profiles, allocation scorecard,
system/interface views and implementation backlog.
Acceptance evidence
Agreed numerical envelope, profiled platform fit, traceable
allocation, co-simulation results, target correlation and
end-to-end demonstration against the product scenario.
06 · DSP / SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO
Deterministic signal chains. Adaptive operating intelligence.
Deep DSP and FPGA lineage applied to SDR, base-station, radar,
navigation, drone and defense-oriented platforms, from executable
waveform behavior through deployable hardware.
Numerical drift across model, fixed point and FPGA
Throughput, buffering and RF-control interactions
Adaptive functions without bounded failure behavior
AI at the right boundary
Search-assisted partition and parameter exploration
Signal, interference and anomaly classification around a
deterministic core
Shadow → advise → bounded control, with confidence gates,
watchdogs and deterministic fallback
Critique-assisted test generation, leakage review and failure
clustering
Deep DSP lineage
Multi-DSP scheduling research; Viterbi, FIR, DSL modem and
wireless test foundations; Simulink/MATLAB-to-hardware work;
xStellar base-station algorithm ports and cloud FPGA; Ectron
navigation/SDR; RFSoC, radar, LiDAR and vision datapaths.
Acceptance evidence
Golden-vector correlation, quantization envelope, EVM/BER where
applicable, channel and interference replay, sustained-rate
behavior, latency and resource closure, hardware-in-loop
execution and recorded fallback behavior.
Which subsystem or evidence gate is putting the program at risk?
U.S.-based, U.S.-citizen owned and operated; engineering work is
performed by U.S. citizens.
Defense-oriented capabilities are offered subject to applicable
export-control, data-handling, spectrum and customer security
requirements. No clearance, conformance, certification or
controlled-environment claim is implied.
